Carbon nitride

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cyanogen is a carbon nitride.

Carbon nitrides are organic compounds consisting only of carbon and nitrogen atoms.

Covalent network compounds

[edit]

These materials are organic semiconductors. Due to its hydrogen-bonding motifs and electron-rich properties, this carbon material is considered a potential candidate for material applications in carbon supplementation.[1]

  • Beta carbon nitride - a solid with a formula β-C3N4, which is predicted to be harder than diamond.
  • Graphitic carbon nitride - g-C3N4, with important catalytic and sensor properties.[2]
  • Dicyanodiazomethane (NC)2C=N=N, the only C3N4 isomer studied experimentally
  • Tricyanamide N(CN)3 - C3N4 monomer (has never been prepared yet)
  • Dicyanocarbodiimide NC−N=C=N−CN - another C3N4 monomer (was detected in products of photolysis of triazido-s-triazine).[3]
  • C3N5 - a combined triazole and triazine framework.[4]
  • MCN-12 (C3N6) and MCN-13 (C3N7).[5]

Azafullerenes

[edit]
  • Azafullerenes are a class of heterofullerenes in which the element substituting for carbon is nitrogen.[6] Examples include (C59N)2 (biazafullerenyl),[7] C58N2 (diaza[60]fullerene), C57N3 (triaza[60]fullerene) and C48N12.

Cyanofullerenes

[edit]
  • Cyanofullerenes are a class of modified fullerenes in which cyano- groups are attached to a fullerene skeleton. These have the formula C60(CN)2n, where n takes the values 1 to 9.

Dicyanopolyynes

[edit]
